I'm just getting started with Zabbix; it looks like a great monitoring system. I installed an agent on a host, and tried out the zabbix_agentd -p command, to list all the items being monitored, and to my surprise, there are a lot! How did those get there? The host group for this host has 0 templates, so I expected to have to add templates or individually configured items to this group before it would start tracking any items. It also has some mysql checks that cause zabbix_agentd -p to throw errors about mysql not existing.

The -p option doesn't show just items being monitored, it shows all the items. The mysql items are actually configured as user parameters in userparameter_mysql.conf. -
The "-p" option will print all the values that the agent supports, even if there is no template(s) assigned to that particular host.
If you've set a password for your root mysql user, then the Zabbix MySQL monitoring will fail, unless you change the configuration file on the host.
If you want to test a single item, then use the "-t" option
